YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance

A solid-oxide fuel-cell (SOFC) company supplying on-site datacenter power within 90 days, its edge the scarce position as a 'fast fix' for AI power shortages. The thesis is the power bottleneck — while grid expansion lags, large deals with Oracle (up to 2.8GW), AEP (1GW), Brookfield and SK ecoplant create order visibility. Risks are dependence on natural-gas fuel and executing large capacity expansion (1→2GW), and in graph terms it is a distributed-generation axis taking hyperscaler/utility demand while spending ripples to power-equipment suppliers like LS Electric (switchgear).
